Mar 25, 2017	Get my turntable fixed or buy a new one? You sure the belt hasn't fallen off? Depends how much they charge... But I'd say hold on to it. Maybe replace the cartridge with a AT95 or MP110.
Mar 22, 2017	Lenco L75-S16 $300-$350 on Ebay. For your NOS, maybe $400+
Mar 20, 2017	KT-88 vs. EL34 You should be able to swap in 6L6 for EL34 as long as you can adjust the bias AND you get the GTB versions as they can work with higher plate voltages AND as long as your amp can work with these tubes in the first place.

Mar 16, 2017	Why do some tube-based power amps have back-panel replaceable fuses and others don’t? Interesting. It’s more expensive to have a back panel fuse rather than one on the board. Obviously easier to replace. Some manufacturers may not want you replacing a fuse as it can signify a major issue that requires service.

Mar 16, 2017	Denon DL103 vs Goldring 1042 on a Spacedeck As it is used and the cartridge probably worn, get the Goldring, at least for the moment. Otherwise, get something like an AT95e or Nagaoka MP110 so you don't hurt your vinyl with a possibly worn Denon.
Mar 15, 2017	Has anyone upgraded the wires on a Variac?? Interesting design. It can't hurt to try as long as your wall power is up to snuff.
Mar 15, 2017	Interesting article Good read. Pleasantly surprised to see it was written by Gopnik. I read his ’Paris to the Moon' which is one of my favorite books.
